GMC Envoy vs. Honda Pilot Review

Handling
With their comparable turning radii, the Envoy and the Pilot definitely handle roughly the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The GMC Envoy has a more sizeable engine than the Honda Pilot. Remember that smaller engines typically get better gas mileage, but a smaller engine usually has to work a little harder.

Utility
Drivers with frequent kid-duty might favor the Honda Pilot over the GMC. There's no clear winner between the Pilot and the GMC regarding transporting cargo. Towing is considerably more the GMC Envoy's forte than it is the Honda's.

Convenience
The GMC Envoy's fuel tank will need to be replenished somewhat more often than the unit in the Pilot.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the GMC Envoy offers a bit more head room than the Honda Pilot, there really isn't much of a difference. While the rear of the Honda Pilot provides a bit more head- and leg-room than the GMC Envoy, there honestly isn't much of a difference.

Dimensions
The Honda Pilot's tank is about the same size as the GMC Envoy's, though the GMC Envoy's is somewhat larger. The Honda Pilot and the GMC Envoy compete for the same parking spaces.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs roughly the same to get the Honda Pilot to the dealership as the GMC Envoy. The Envoy requires a lot of gasoline compared to the Honda Pilot. As far as gas mileage, the Pilot has the GMC Envoy beat. The Honda Pilot isn't much less pricey than the GMC Envoy when it comes to MSRP.

Warranty
The Honda Pilot and the GMC have the same basic after-sale protection.
